A short walk through the new plant of
the Pioneer Fire Proof Construction Compa
ny shows some very extensive additions to
Ottawa industries The new plant, on the
east side OF the track will consist of the
building on the canal, u large drying room
adjacent to it, and eight new brick kins
The machinery is now being put in, and the
interior Of the building looks q good deal
like business, The drying room 10 being
built on new plan and known as the tulnen
process The fire is all in furnace at one
end of the building, and the heat is carried
through in tile aues through the outside
walls and the light inside parallel partitions
and also through the floor and ceiling of
these tunnels. There are thus formed nine
long, hot tunnels, into which the brick are
wheeled on cars, and left thirty.six hours to
dry before being taken to the kilns. Of the
new kilns, four are completed and the foun
dations are laid for four more. The new
snoke.tack Of these first four kilns is q
curiosity. 1t is built of tiles foot square
and five inches thick, and has an inner
lining of fire brick. There are cross parti.
lions inside making four distinct and sera.
rate fues from ground to top--one flue to
each kiln. The other four kilns are TO be
beyond these, and nearer to the railroad
A system OF tracks will be laid to run the
little brick cars from the moulding room to
the drying tunnels, and from these to the
kilns.

OTTAWA X EIEPS UP
The Natural Gas Of Pennsylvania Doesn1
Interfere with Ottawa Glass.

The Natural Gas Of Pennsylvania Doesn't
Inter ere with ottawa Glass.
The FpRE TRADER irrepressble inquired
Of several of the Ottawa glass men last week
in regard TO the effect Of the Inter. State
Commerce bill, and also Of natural gas, upon
their business, as affecting their competition
with the Pittsburgh glass makers, who use
natural gas for fuel. The replies received
from AL the glass men were substantially
the same, and were to the effect that the
commerce bill had the tendency to bring the
glass trade, like many other trades, TO a sort
of lull The freight rates from Chicago west
have been raised. while those east remain
the same. Everybody expects change in
rates, and is afraid to buy. In regard to
the question Of natural gas or oil, the Ottawa
g ,ss men do not appear to feel at all nerv
GUS of the Pittsburgh men They say that
those gentlemen themselves do not claim any
advantage from his so called saving Of fuel.
Our representative mentioned an article in
the Chicago Hmcs which placed great weight
upon the advantage of oil or gas for fiel,
and the Ottawa glass men serenely smiled.
"Why,' said one of them, 81 burn coal-re'
fuse coal that costs me thirty cents a ton,
and transportation. Now, I'd like to see
any Pennsylvania man keep his natural gas
well and pipes in repair for less than that"
An inquiry elected the fact that an oil
burner is now in use in the De Ia Chappelle
chimney works, and that the cost of this
heat exceeds the cost Of coal by little more
than the freight on the oil. The oil is used
because, In the finishing process, the flame
must be free from smoke, whereas in the
bottling works, Mr.. Trimble says, they find
coal both better and cheaper
"Besides," said MIR. TrimbIe, "the natural
gas ISN'T reliable. Only short time since
III, whole south side of Pittsburgh was left
without heat and light, causing damage Of
about 100000 in a day or two Oh, no,
don't want any oil or natural gas fuel
In short, the common verdict of all inter
esed was that if Ottawa can get anywhere
ear as good rates of freight (and there is
no reason why we should not), Ottawa
glass can compete with anything of the sort
in the country. There is everything here
that is needed for successful manufacturing
There is cheap fuel, plenty OF water, easy
and cheap transportation, and, in short,
there is not natural advantage of any sort
that s good for anything which Ottawa can
not offer to the enterprsing manufacturer.
